Dear Mr. Wilson,
We are providing this letter upon your request for a pedestrian study along center Street, from
Fifth Avenue to First Avenue. The intent of this study will be to evaluate existing pedestrian
circulation conditions and provide recommendations for improvements. This could include
improved pedestrian control and timing at the First Avenue intersection or an additional
pedestrian crossing alternative within the project limits.
In order to establish baseline conditions, pedestrian and vehicular counts will need to be
f„ completed at key locations during peak periods. Also, existing street geometries, traffic signal
operations and pedestrian facilities must be identified. This information will provide the basis for
our review. It is anticipated that our evaluation will additionally consider Warrant 3, Minimal
Pedestrian Volume, or other criteria as outlined in The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD) for installation of an additional traffic signal within the study area to enhance
pedestrian circulation.
A report will be prepared documenting our findings, improvement recommendations and
associated costs. The report will provide guidance for future improvements only and is not
anticipated to provide design level detail. To accomplish this evaluation we propose the following
engineering fees:
° Project Coordination $ 550
° Data Collection $ 2,100
° Evaluation $ 1,750
° Report Preparation $ 1,300
° Meetings and Review $ 50
TOTAL $ 6,350
As noted, the largest task involves data collection efforts identified in documenting existing
conditions. The budget for this item may be adjusted depending upon the level of data already
available, or if City resources are utilized in collecting this information. Pertinent information
may include as -built plans, traffic counts, etc.
